FOLIO Product Council
The FOLIO Product Council will act on behalf of the FOLIO community to express and champion priorities in the development of the FOLIO Library Service Platform, and ensure the relevance and cohesiveness of the FOLIO project. For more information, see the FOLIO Product Council Charter.
Any member of the community who has ideas, concerns, issues or questions about any aspect of the FOLIO project may raise them with the Product Council by slacking individual members, bringing up concerns on the Product Council Slack channel, recommending items for future agenda topics at the end of each meeting, or adding them to the Community topics for Product Council.

Voting/Decisions
Every decision, whether done through lazy consensus or vote, is recorded
Lazy consensus
Doesn’t mean unanimous consensus, but general agreement or silence
Done by individuals present in the conversation
Length of time for lazy consensus: give people a specific length of time to review, generally by the next PC meeting
Explicitly call out our decisions and record them
Should take into consideration the wishes of the whole FOLIO community
PC members only may request a formal vote, if they feel like lazy consensus is not occurring
Provide clarity when a formal vote needs to occur, e.g., A formal vote will now occur.
Provide a time-frame for voting
Should be provide a voting period with explicit time-period, generally no longer than by the next PC meeting
PC members can abstain (I was present for the vote, but chose not to vote; versus, I was not aware or present)
Over half of PC members must vote, majority of votes calls the decision
PC members may designate a proxy to vote in their place if needed
